Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 small head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
salt to taste
0.33 cup water
0.25 cup red wine
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, or to taste
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 pinch caraway seeds

Instructions

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and cook until it starts to soften, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Pour in water, red wine, and vinegar; stir to combine thoroughly. Mix in sugar and caraway seeds.
Stir, and continue cooking until the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is tender, approximately 5 minutes. If the cabbage isn't quite tender enough, add a splash of water and cook for a few more minutes.
